ALPENA — Bird fanciers can flit over to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ website to join a virtual winter bird-feeding class, to be held 9 a.m. to noon on Jan. 22.

Registrants will pay a $15 registration fee.

To register, go to Michigan.gov/DNRLicenses and click on the “Purchase a license” button. After following sign-in instructions, find the class under the Outdoor Skills Academy tab.
